Expand your driving skillset for the world of work

You might not even be aware that certain classes are not granted on a full driving licence. All of the commercial classes below require additional training courses and workshops in order to be legally approved for work. We operate CDL training courses throughout Suffolk, Norfolk, parts of Essex, Cambridgeshire and many more.

CPC Driver Training

It doesn’t matter where you live or work or how long you’ve been a commercial driver, you must undertake at least 35 hours of periodic training to maintain your Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC). This will legally enable you to continue driving a lorry, coach or bus for work.

It’s important to note that you could be fined up to £1,000 for driving professionally without a valid Driver CPC. If you drive both lorries and buses for work, you’ll need to take two separate CPCs to cover both lines of work. We’re here to engage and guide you towards maintaining your invaluable Driver CPC.
